Overview: The Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum, located a short ride from Shibuya Station, is a museum that opened in 1998 as a renovation of artist Taro Okamoto's home studio. Over 50 years, He created many works of public art there, such as the Myth of Tomorrow, a large mural exhibited in Shibuya Station, and the Tower of the Sun made for the Osaka Expo. The workshop contains old brushes, paint-covered floors, and shelves with unfinished canvases, conveying the passion of the 20th century artist.
